Fig. 3 is a transverse section, showing the rivets.

Fig. 1: A B, the axle; O, the sleeve; D, a rivet for securing the sleeve and axle rigidly together. Other rivets maybe thus affixed to secure greater strength. E is a device for securing the parts of the axle together. It 0011- sists in fixing one or more rivets transversely through the sleeve and projecting into an annular groove, D, in the axle. These rivets may be of any desired width for strength, with What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- i In combination, solidaxle A B, divided in the center, steady-pin A, revolving in countersink sleeve O, rivet E, and annular groove D, all constructed and operating substantially 4 as and for the purposes set forth and described.
